Acting Secretaries

Would it make sense to include "Acting" Secretaries of Defense in this category? See Bill Clements, William Howard Taft IV, and Patrick M. Shanahan in the United States Secretary of Defense#List of Secretaries of Defense. Or it would be more appropriate to add a subcategory for those acting SECDEFs? — Archer1234 (talk) 17:42, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
